Every 23 seconds

 I don’t know what you can do in 23 seconds -I can probably Thai  both of my shoes  in 23 seconds if they are on and ready and probably brush my teeth in 23 seconds which isn’t nearly long enough and there are probably countless other bodily functions I can take care of and about that much time however I would like you to  watch this video below to find out why 23 seconds is significant and then I will discuss it further

MY CHALLENGE TO YOU TODAY…. 

Ok if you watched the video this won’t be a spoiler but if not …go watch it in a few minutes.  

EVERY 23 SECONDS  someone around the planet dies in a vehicle  accident.  With them could be vanishing the ideas that will cure  disease, figure out the  best way to address global warming, or be the person who eventually brings a winning team  to Cleveland for the Browns.  

I spent about  27 minutes writing and editing the material above the link (which accounts for the  time it takes to prepare the blogspot template….there goes 73 human lives.  

If 9  out of 10  accidents  are caused by driver error and these  wrecks were  not tragedies …then  we are talking  about 8 people  being killed  instead of the 72 that  disappeared from the  planet while i was working on a few words.  

Well I don’t take too much more time with this  entry because it  is  a time for living on the weekend… but I am issuing  each of you a challenge.  Your smart phone  has a stopwatch or you can probably count to 23 even if you have to take your shoes off and use your toes and then count three more fingers.  So see what  takes 23 seconds or more  in your everyday  lives and then think about the global initiative that autonomous  vehicles  really means.  

Ok that’s enough but strangely enough that  old Bob Dylan line is streaming through my head

“How many deaths will it take till we know that too many people have died?”  

Anyway have a good  weekend at least 23 seconds worth.
